The Ugliest Man In Ugandan Finds Fame In African Pop Music

This Ugandan cobbler from Kyanzana , became local celebrity
because of his severely deformed head. His
newly acquired status as a local celebrity has brought him fame in African pop
music with his music videos racking up 3,000,000 views on YouTube.

But he is worried about passing the condition unto his eight
kids. He said: “Right now I am afraid because I have a little daughter who kind
of resembles me.“I look at her head and I believe that she might look like me.

“Sometimes I worry because my children are still very young.
I worry about what would happen to them if I died. I think about that a lot
now.”

The head of medicine at Mbarara Hospital in the western
region of Uganda, decided to carry out tests to diagnose him. Dr Wilson said:
“He has very widespread abnormality in his head and pressing on various parts
of his brain. “His posture is compressing his chest – this is why he’s not
breathing well.”

He was diagnosed with a rare condition called
Fibrodysplasia, which affects the growth and placement of his cells and tissue.

Godfrey added: “I was so worried that the doctor wanted to
operate on me. I feel glad that he just told me about my condition. “I feel so
good and I have learned that I am a human being.”

He said: “I was mending my shoes and a man who worked in
entertainment asked me to take part in a show. “Now I’ve got friends. People
call me to go to their shows and give me money. “It helps me take care of my
children.”

Godfrey who has been married had two children with the first
wife before it ended. He then met the love of his life, Namande Kate eight
years ago and has had six more children with her.

Namande said:
“Godfrey’s not handsome on the outside, but he has a good heart. “I wish people
would see him the way I see him.”Godfrey’s story is featured in Body Bizarre
this Thursday, October 27th.
